All of life is a hunt. We dress up and blow a horn to declare our presence, and then we begin the pursuit. Quietly following your blog has taught me that and, while I don't countenance every aspect of your life, I am very grateful for you.

Fantastic. Fly-fishing is not fishing; it is aquatic hunting.

This is the kind of insane exuberant fishing I love. I have not caught a fish on anything other than a flyrod in over forty years.
